The "processes" defined here remind me of Minsky's "agents" (which came later), and the "hierarchy" of his Society of Mind -- which also happens to be hierarchycally organized, like most (all?) human societies so far. All of these systems are involved in the realization of tasks requiring intelligence. Within this framework, one of the interesting approaches to me here is: once you define which processes/agents are involved in a human activity, how can one augment/externalize it? Software that effectively does this is useful by definition. We might be missing lots of utility here due to lack (or just inherent difficulty) of introspection.
